Selecting Files to be Restored
You select files to be restored the same way you select files to be backed up. See
Backup Jobs. However besides selecting which files you wish to restore, you can also change the name
of the restored file, restore it to a new location and create a new folder in which to restore the file.
Additionally, when you select a file for restoring, you must specify which version of the file you wish to
restore. The most recent version is selected by default.
To select files for restore jobs
1.
View the properties of the restore job and click on the Selection page.
2. Modify the file tree to look the way you want it to appear when you restore the files. For example,
you might make a new folder to store the restored files in.
3. Check the selection boxes next to the files, folders or other containers you wish to restore.
4.
To select a specific version of the folder or file or folder you selected, highlight it and click the Version
button in the tool bar. In the Versions of window that appears, select the date of the version you wish
to restore. If you want to include all of the files in a folder or on a volume, select the latest version.
5. Optionally, click the Selection filters button on the tool bar and specify filter selection criteria.
6. Specify new names and locations for the restored files.
Selecting Files to be Verified
You select files to be verified the same way you select files to be backed up. See
Backup Jobs. Additionally, when you select a file for verifying, you must specify which version of the file
you wish to restore. The most recent version is selected by default.
To select files for verify jobs
1. View the properties of the restore job and click on the Selection page.
2. Check the selection boxes next to the files, folders or other containers you wish to restore.
3.
To select a specific version of the folder or file or folder you selected, highlight it and click the Version
button in the tool bar. In the Versions of window that appears, select the date of the version you wish
to restore. If you want to include all of the files in a folder or on a volume, select the latest version.
4. Optionally, click the Selection filters button on the tool bar and specify filter selection criteria.
Selecting versions of files
Each time a file is backed up, a version of that file is created. There may be several versions of files stored
on different media created by different backup jobs. Data Protector Express keeps track of all the versions
of each file in its catalog and the media on which each version is stored. When media is overwritten or
deleted, Data Protector Express deletes those versions from its catalog as well.
